i don't know what type she is; i found her weak and starving on the sidewalk. she laid her egg sac and now her head is turning green. This is my first time keeping a mantis. I was wondering if anyone knew why shes changing colors.

I had a green giant Asian that turned grey.

For anyone else reading this, you can hand feed a mantis on fishpaste or any kind of meat/fish. I successfully got my mangled mantis through another moult doing this. The hardest thing is pursuading them that its food.
